Amino acids are the building blocks of protein and are necessary to perform several internal functions of the body. They are classified as "essential" or "non-essential", while essential amino acids cannot be produced by the body and must be included in the diet to maintain good health. Amino acids can be further used by the body to create hormones, enzymes, neurotransmitters, antibodies and nutrient carriers. Insufficient intake of essential amino acids increases the body's need for essential amino acids due to diet or supplements. Foods that increase amino acid intake are meat, beans, cheese, and eggs.
Ornithine is an essential amino acid. Ornithine plays a role in the concentration of ammonia in the blood.
Solgar® L Ornithine 500 mg should be taken once a day in an easily digestible vegetable capsule.
